Welcome to the Ocean Ecol (Wyatt) Lab website« researching the interplay between oceanographic processes and the ecological structure and function of marine ecosystems and species in a changing world »
Research themes:
1. Coastal Biogeochemistry
Quantifying the oceanographic drivers of nutrient cycling in coastal ecosystems, focusing on local- to regional- scale variations in current dynamics, upwelling and internal waves.
2. Coral Reef Ecology
Using oceanography to understand spatial and temporal changes in the structure and function of coral reef ecosystems, focusing on the refuge potential of 'twilight zone' mesophotic reefs.
3. Trophic Ecology
Field and laboratory studies to enhance stable and radio isotopes insights into the interactions between oceanography and the foraging strategies of a range of enigmatic species, focusing on planktivores and threatened sharks and rays.
4. Ecological engineering
Solutions for protecting and restoring marine ecosystems by enhancing resilience and recovery, focusing on critically threatened coastal habitats and aquaculture systems.
